What is BS IEC 62873-2‒ Residual current devices vocabulary about?
BS IEC 62873-2 is the second part of an international multi-series standard that outlines the vocabulary for residual current devices.
BS IEC 62873-2 provides the terms and definitions used in RCD product standards. It gives definitions relating to currents flowing from live parts to earth, the energization of an RCD, the operation and functions of an RCD, values, and ranges of energizing quantities, and arcing time. BS IEC 62873-2 gives coordination between overcurrent protective devices in series and explains the terminology for values and ranges of influencing quantities, terminals, operating conditions, insulation coordination, etc.
Who is BS IEC 62873-2‒ Residual current devices vocabulary for?
BS IEC 62873-2 on residual current devices vocabulary is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of RCBOs
- Dealers and distributors of RCBOs
- Designers of RCBOs
- Test/ service providers for RCBOs
Why should you use BS IEC 62873-2‒ Residual current devices vocabulary?
A residual-current device (RCD) is protective equipment that maintains the safety of an electrical device and system by tripping an electrical circuit with leakage current to the ground. It is very helpful to reduce the risk of serious damage that can cause by the heavy current.
BS IEC 62873-2 serves the purpose of defining the terminology for residual current devices and residual current operated circuit-breakers such as terms relating to currents flowing from live parts to earth, the energization of an RCD, the operation, and functions of an RCD, etc. It helps the users of residual current operated circuit-breakers/ devices to come on the same ground in terms of concepts, definitions, and other technical specifications regarding the RCDs.
The users of BS IEC 62873-2 can exchange important information related to the residual current devices anywhere around the globe with ease, as it enables to achieve the uniformity of the data. It helps you to extend your businesses worldwide by conveying valuable data as well as your product to the consumers, in a very effective manner.
